Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes gradual damage to the bile ducts in the liver. Over time, bile builds up in the liver, leading to inflammation, scarring, and potentially cirrhosis. This condition primarily affects middle-aged women but can occur in men and younger individuals.
Key Symptoms of PBC:
PBC is often diagnosed through routine blood tests showing elevated liver enzymes or markers of autoimmunity, such as anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs).
Coastal Research offers free, non-invasive liver scans to detect early signs of fatty liver disease.
If you have unexplained fatigue, abdominal discomfort, or elevated liver enzymes, get valuable health insights at no cost.
Participating in a clinical trial allows you to access cutting-edge treatments while contributing to the advancement of medical research for PBC. Benefits include:
While there is no cure for PBC, available treatments focus on slowing disease progression, improving symptoms, and preventing complications.
Standard Treatments Include:
Emerging therapies in clinical trials aim to address inflammation, bile flow, and fibrosis more
effectively, offering hope for improved outcomes.
At Coastal Research Institute, we are conducting trials for innovative PBC therapies that focus on:
Our trials are designed to prioritize patient safety and comfort while advancing care for this chronic condition.
